“…While prior research on top managers suggests that they are often not active participants in the collection of market information (e.g., Liu & Comer, 2007;Zahay et al, 2004), we demonstrate that TMT involvement in market information collection creates value for the firm and augments business performance through increased innovativeness.

“…Invariavelmente gerentes e supervisores de vendas são o foco nos trabalhos, dando-se pouco ou nenhum espaço ao vendedor, que é quem está em campo, em contato direto com o cliente e quem deve estar alerta para potenciais oportunidades de desenvolvimento, sejam elas manifestadas formalmente pelos clientes ou fruto da observação de suas rotinas diárias (GORDON et al, 1997;JUDSON et al, 2009;JUDSON et al, 2006;LANIS;FOUNTAIN;PETERSON, 2005;LIU;COMER, 2007;WEBSTER JR, 1965).…”
